A Word About References Used on this Site
I refer to a variety of web sites and resources on these pages. If you are
GLBT you may be surprised at some of the resources I use. If you are a
conservative Christian or just plain Christian you may be surprised at some of
the resources I use as well.
My use of any resource should not be interpreted as an endorsement of the
entirety of that resource, web site, or viewpoint (unless of course I am
referring to the Bible). I do this becaue GLBT's and conservative Christians
often affirm very different resources. In order to speak to everyone who
visits this website I must use a variety of resources. This is critical if we are
to understand each other.
